Youth Lagoon
The Year of Hibernation
17
Tabbed by David McDougal
[Verse]
CFC
Rowing the campground up by the lake where we swam.
FC
We were hunting for snakes,
FC
But we couldn't find them.
C
Surrounded by nothing,
FC
But the nothing's surrounded by us.
FC
But it's just me in my room,
FC
With my eyes shut.
[Chorus]
AmC
Oh when I was seventeen,
FC
My mother said to me
AmCFC
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
AmC
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
FC
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
AmC
I was having fun.
FC
We were all having fun.
AmCFC (x2)
[Verse]
CFC
My brain kicking faster than I can, but not fast enough.
FC
Who is there to talk to
FC
That won't lock me up?
CFC
At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that aren't mine.
FC
The snakes I couldn't find,
FC
I don't want to find.
CEmFC (4x)
Ohhhhh
[Chorus]
AmC
Oh when I was seventeen,
FC
My mother said to me
AmCFC
Don't stop imagining The day that you do is the day that you die.
AmC
Now I pull a wanton carriage,
FC
Instead of the horses, grazing along.
AmC
I was having fun.
FC
We were all having fun.
